Default Cobra trailer tail lights replacement?

Looking to replace the factory/European style tail lights.

Although attractive (??) I think they can be confusing for USA

following behind it.

Any suggestions for improvement and/or making them more USA

"friendly"?
And also wiring them for USA vehicles.


I have seen several trailers with round L.E.D. replacement tail

lights.
Source?

All suggestions and advice appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

John,

All I do (for a US 4 wire conversion) is swap spade connectors
(at the bulbs themselves) between the the Euro amber turn
signal and the red brake light. Just unscrew the lens cover, swap
the 2 spade connectors, put the lens cover back on. The amber
light is then not used, so drivers in the USA won't be confused.
